CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity


USE OF ESTIMATES
Preparation of three months or less when purchased.

INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE-FOR SALE

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in other income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income.

LIQUIDITY

In April 2018, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to provide access to additional capital, if needed. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement, we may from time to time offer to sell in one or more offerings shares of our common stock or other securities having an aggregate value of up to $175,000 (which includes approximately $60,000 of unsold securities that were previously registered on our currently effective registration statements). The shelf registration statement relating to these securities became effective on April 16, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, there is $133,438 remaining available under the shelf registration statement.

In June 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering in which we sold an aggregate of 2,375,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $17.50 per share. We realized net proceeds of approximately $38,910 after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.

As of September 30, 2018, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $19,194 of cash and cash equivalents, cash we expect to generate in the future from our business operations, $5,000 available for borrowing under our revolving line of credit, and $25,000 delayed draw term loan commitment with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our term loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. We continue to seek reductions in our expenses as a percentage of revenue on an annual basis and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, we may needstatements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to raise additional capital or incur additional indebtedness to grow our existing software operationsmake estimates and to seek additional strategic acquisitions inassumptions that affect the near future.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenue. We have made and will continue to explore additional strategic acquisitions. We expect to fund any future acquisitions with equity, available cash, cash we expect to generate in the future from our business operations, funds under our credit facilities, and cash generated from the issuance of equity or debt securities.

We cannot assure that we can grow our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We will need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.

In our evaluationreported amounts of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASU 2014-15, we have considered factors such asassets and liabilities, the Company’s historicaldisclosure of contingent assets and forecasted resultsliabilities at the date of operations and cash flows from operations.The Company recorded $9,277 of net loss and $6,062 of cash outflows from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which are indicators of substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.. We believe that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and to maintain compliance with the termsreported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, useful lives of fixed assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our debt agreementsestimates on historical experience and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made withon various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the available cash on hand or anticipated for receiptgiven circumstances.  These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions.  Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the ordinary coursepreparation of operations, which will mitigatethe consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. We make appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used prospectively based upon such substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Standards

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted


In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 (“Topic 606”) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers) supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue, cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The adoption of ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective approach, had no significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. The initial application was applied to all contracts at the date of initial application.  We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Results of reporting periods after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

We recorded a $1,502 cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 related to an increase in deferred commissions.  There was no impact to revenue as a result of applying Topic 606.

The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 is to sales commissions related to onboarding new clients that were previously expensed.  Under the new standard, these costs are now capitalized as deferred commissions and amortized over the estimated customer life of five to ten years.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” which eliminates the diversity in practice related to eight cash flow classification issues.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data unless otherwise noted)

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which requires the change in restricted cash or cash equivalents to be included with other changes in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting,” which clarifies when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. ASU 2017-09 requires modification accounting only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

Standards Yet To Be Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.  The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. We will be required to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2019. While we are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, we expect the adoption will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and additionalAdditional qualitative and quantitative disclosures.

disclosures are also required. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, utilizing the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. Upon adoption, we did not record an adjustment to our beginning accumulated deficit.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data unless otherwise noted)

In addition, we adopted the following additional practical expedients available for implementation:

•An entity need not reassess whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases;
•An entity need not reassess lease classification for any existing or expired leases; and
•An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

We recognized lease liabilities of approximately $8,900 on January 1, 2019. A right-of-use asset of approximately $8,200 was recognized based on the lease liability, adjusted for the reclassification of deferred rent and lease incentive of approximately $680. The standard did not materially impact our operating results or liquidity upon adoption. The standard has no impact on the timing or classification of our cash flows as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. Disclosures related to this standard are included in Note 7, Leases.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which provides entities the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”) to retained earnings.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied


Standards Yet To Be Adopted

The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).  The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results of reporting periodsfiscal years, beginning after January 1, 2018December 15, 2019.  Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement.  Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We plan to adopt this standard at the effective date and do not expect any material impact from adoption.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40).  The new guidance reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license).  For public companies, the amendments in this ASU are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amountseffective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.  Implementation should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.  The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows are not adjusted and continueexpected to be reported in accordance withmaterial.

LEASES

At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our historic accounting under Topic 605.  There was no impact to revenue as a result of applying Topic 606 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our revenue consist of software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) offerings and time-based software subscription license arrangements that also,leases typically include hardware, maintenance/support, and professional services elements.  We recognize revenue ondo not provide an output basis when control of the promised goods or services is transferred toimplicit rate, we use our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations.  For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.  We determine standalone selling pricesincremental borrowing rate based on the amountinformation available at the commencement date taking into consideration necessary adjustments for collateral, depending on the facts and circumstances of the lessee and the leased asset, and term to match the lease term. The ROU asset is measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability and initial direct costs incurred by the Company and excludes lease incentives. Lease liabilities are recorded in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities. ROU assets are recorded in other assets, net.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we believe the market is willing to pay determined through historical analysis of sales data as well as through use of the residual approach when we can estimate the standalone selling price for one or more, but not all, of the promised goods or services.

SaaS arrangements and time-based software subscriptions typically have an initial term ranging from one to three years and are renewable on an annual basis.  A typical SaaS/software subscription arrangement will also include hardware, setup and implementation services. Revenue allocated to the SaaS/software subscription performance obligationsexercise that option. Operating lease costs are recognized on an outputa straight-line basis ratably as the service is provided over the non-cancellable term of the SaaS/subscription servicelease term. Lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components are reported as Cloud revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Revenue allocated to other performance obligations included in the arrangement is recognized as outlined in the paragraphs below. 

Hardware devices sold to customers (typically time clocks, LCD panels, sensors and other peripheral devices) are sold as either a standard product sell arrangement where title to the hardware passes to the customer or under a hardware-as-a-service (“HaaS”) arrangement where the title to the hardware remains with Asure.  Revenue allocated to hardware sold as a standard product are recognized on an output basis when title passes to the customer, typically the date we ship the hardware. Revenue allocated to hardware under a hardware-as-a-service (“HaaS”) arrangement are recognized on an output basis, recorded ratably as the service is provided over the non-cancellable term of the HaaS arrangement, typically one year.  Revenue recognized from hardware devices sold to customers via either of the two above types of arrangements are reported as Hardware revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

Our professional services offerings typically include data migration, set up, training, and implementation services.  Set up and implementation services typically occur at the start of the software arrangement while certain other professional services, depending on the nature of the services and customer requirements, may occur several months later.  We can reasonably estimate professional services performedgenerally accounted for a fixed fee and we recognize allocated revenue on an output basis on a proportional performance basis as the service is provided. We recognize allocated revenue on an output basis for professional services engagements billed on a time and materials basis as the service is provided.  We recognize allocated revenue on an output basis on all other professional services engagements upon the earlier of the completion of the service’s deliverable or the expiration of the customer’s right to receive the service.  Revenue recognized from professional services offerings are reported as Professional service revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

We recognize allocated revenue for maintenance/support on an output basis ratably over the non-cancellable term of the support agreement.  Initial maintenance/support terms are typically one to three years and are renewable on an annual basis.  Revenue recognized from maintenance/support are reported as Maintenance and support revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

We do not recognize revenue for agreements with rights of return, refundable fees, cancellation rights or substantive acceptance clauses until these return, refund or cancellation rights have expired or acceptance has occurred.  Our arrangements with resellers do not allow for any rights of return.

Our payment terms vary by the type of customer and the customer’s payment history and the products or services offered.  The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant and as such our contracts do not include a significant financing component.  The transaction prices of our contracts do not include consideration amounts that are variable and do not include noncash consideration.

Deferred revenue includes amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue we recognize, and is comprised of deferred Cloud, HaaS, Maintenance and support, and Professional services revenue.  We recognize deferred revenue when we complete the service and over the terms of the arrangements, primarily ranging from one to three years.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 


ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is based on the reliability of the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


Level 2:

Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and


Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At September 30, 2018, we had $10,000 in money market funds, classified as cash equivalents. Short-term available-for-sale securities consist of government and commercial bonds, including mortgage backed securities, and are classified as Funds Held for Clients on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

2018 Acquisitions

In January 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Pay Systems of America, Inc. (“Pay Systems”), a provider of HR, payroll and employee benefits services. The aggregate consideration for the shares consisted of (i) $19,194 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “Pay Systems Note”) in the principal amount of $1,572, subject to adjustment, We funded the cash payment with cash on hand. The Pay Systems Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and is payable in two installments – one-half, plus accrued interest, on July 1, 2018 and the remaining principal balance and accrued interest on January 1, 2019.

In January 2018, we also completed the acquisitions of two other companies that are current resellers of our leading Human Resource Information System platform. We funded these two acquisitions with cash on hand, subordinated promissory notes and shares of Asure common stock.

In April 2018, we acquired all of the assets of a provider of outsourced HR, consulting, and professional services around payroll and employee benefits; and we acquired all of the share capital of a provider of a sensor-based solution that allows organizations across the world to streamline operations, create efficiencies, enhance productivity, and analyze employee engagement. We funded these acquisitions with cash (using borrowed funds under our Second Restated Credit Agreement) and subordinated promissory notes.

In April 2018, we also purchased a portfolio of customer accounts and the related contracts for payroll processing services (known as Evolution Payroll) from Wells Fargo for an aggregate purchase price of $10,450. The aggregate purchase price consisted of (i) $10,000 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “Evolution Payroll Note”) in the principal amount of $450. The Evolution Payroll Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0%, and the unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the Evolution Payroll Note is payable on April 9, 2020. To finance this transaction, we borrowed approximately $10,000 under our Second Restated Credit Agreement.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data unless otherwise noted)

In July 2018, we acquired all of the capital stock of USA Payroll, Inc. and assets of its affiliates (“USA Payroll”), a payroll processing company based in Rochester, New York and a licensee of our Evolution software. The aggregate purchase price consisted of (i) $18,561 in cash; (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “USA Payroll Notes”) in the principal amount of $3,263; and (iii) 225,089 unregistered shares of our common stock valued at $3,600 based on a volume-weighted average of the closing prices of our common stock during a 90-day period. We funded the cash payment with cash on hand. The USA Payroll Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.0%. Interest payments are due on July 1, 2019, July 1, 2020 and accrued interest and principal is due on July 1, 2021.

Except for the purchase of Pay Systems Evolution Payroll portfolio and USA Payroll, the 2018 acquisitions, individually, were not material to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We have treated the purchase of the Evolution Payroll portfolio as an acquisition of assets, rather than as an acquisition of a business.

Purchase Price Allocation

Following is the purchase price allocation for the 2018 business acquisitions. We based the preliminary fair value estimate for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions upon preliminary calculations and valuations.  Our estimates and assumptions for these acquisitions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that we have not yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and income and non-income based taxes.

We recorded the transactions, with the exception of the Evolution Payroll portfolio purchase, using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the dates of acquisitions. The $36,960 of intangible assets subject to amortization consist of $32,200 allocated to Customer Relationships, $2,100 for Developed Technology, $2,330 for Trade Names, and $330 for Noncompete Agreements.  To value the Trade Names, we employed the relief from royalty method under the market approach. For the Noncompete Agreements, we employed a form of the income approach which analyzes the Company’s profitability with these assets in place, in contrast to the Company’s profitability without them. For the Customer Relationships and Developed Technology, we employed a form of the excess earnings method, which is a form of the income approach. The discount rate used in valuing these assets ranged from 13.0% to 33.0%, which reflects the risk associated with the intangible assets related to the other assets and the overall business operations to us. We estimated the fair values of the Trade Names using the relief from royalty method based upon a 1.0% royalty rate.  

We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from these strategic acquisitions. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase of the Evolution Payroll portfolio has been accounted for as an asset acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 provide a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets and activities is not a business. Since the acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition, the total value of the purchase consideration is allocated to the asset acquired. Management assessed the fair value of the promissory note and cash consideration as of April 1, 2018, which was as follows:

 $10,404 

As an asset acquisition, we also capitalized approximately $40 of total costs incurred to complete the acquisition consisting of legal fees of approximately $30 and accounting fees of approximately $10. The total intangible asset of $10,444 is recorded in our consolidated balance sheet within Intangible Assets- Customer Relationships, and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of eight years.

Transaction costs incurred for the 2018 business acquisitions were $1,000 and $3,301 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and were expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. 

Contingent consideration

In connection with the acquisition of all of the assets of a provider of outsourced human resources, consulting, and professional services in April 2018, we recorded contingent consideration based upon the expected achievement of certain milestone goals. We will record any changes to the fair value of contingent consideration due to changes in assumptions used in preparing the valuation model in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Contingent consideration is valued using a multi-scenario discounted cash flow method. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow method include estimates for outcomes if milestone goals are achieved and the probability of achieving each outcome. Management estimates probabilities and then applies them to management’s conservative case forecast, most likely case forecast and optimistic case forecast with the various scenarios. The Company retained a third party expert to assist in determining the value of the contingent consideration as of April 1, 2018.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data unless otherwise noted)

As of April 1, 2018, the third party expert determined the value of the contingent consideration for the acquisition was $489. The valuation of the contingent consideration was based on a Monte Carlo simulation model for fiscal 2017 to 2019. Management provided revenue projections (an unobservable input) of $3,075 for fiscal 2018 (partial year), and $4,408 for fiscal 2019, respectively. Based on current projections, we released the liability for the contingent consideration as of September 30, 2018, and recorded $489 of Other Income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not recover their net book value. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, and between annual tests, if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. There has been no impairment of goodwill for the periods presented. We amortize intangible assets not considered to have an indefinite useful life using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, which generally ranges from one to nine years. Each reporting period, we evaluate the estimated remaining useful life of intangible assets and assess whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization or indicate that impairment exists. We have not identified any impairments of finite-lived intangible assets during any of the periods presented.

NOTE 7 – LEASES

We have entered into eighteen office space lease agreements, which qualify as operating leases under the Topic 842. Under such leases, the lessors receive annual minimum (base) rent. The leases have original terms (excluding extension options) ranging from one to ten years. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We record base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, rent expense is included in operating expenses under selling, general and administrative expenses. Total straight line rent expense and deprecation of the ROU asset for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $405 and $816, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, we had lease liabilities of $7,881, of which $1,631 are classified as other current accrued liabilities, and ROU assets of $7,307, which are included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The current and non-current portions of the lease liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. For purposes of calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities for such leases, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. Our incremental borrowing rate of 9.00% is estimated to approximate our interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, using a portfolio approach. The weighted average remaining lease term of leases with a lease liability as of June 30, 2019 is 6.0 years (excluding extension options).

NOTE 10 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

We compute net loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net loss per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.  We compute the number of common share equivalents, which includes stock options, using the treasury stock method. We have excluded stock options to acquire 1,568,000approximately 1,502,000 and 1,394,000 shares for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, and 904,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2017respectively, from the computation of the dilutive stock options because the effect of including the stock options would have been anti-dilutive.
